Receiving Faxes
In order to get the list of received faxes, use the message-store API endpoint with direction=Inbound and messageType=Fax query parameter:
GET /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store?direction=Inbound&messageType=Fax
The API response will contain a list of fax messages paginated by 100 (records per page) received yesterday. Each fax can be retrieved as a single PDF file attachment that includes all pages sent by the sender:

}

Adjusting dateFrom and dateTo parameters you may get the messages for desired date range:
GET /restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store?messageType=Fax&dateFrom=2018-10-01&dateTo=2018-10-07
If you'd like to track all new messages (including fax) in your app, you can use the push notification feature. Subscribe using the specific message store event filter:
{
"eventFilters": [
"/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/message-store"
],
"deliveryMode": {
"transportType": "WebHook",
"address": "https://myapp.io/newmessage"
}
}
Then when a new message is received/sent your server will get a request with a payload like:
{
"timestamp": "2018-10-07T12:05:00.408+0000",
"uuid": "b11c9430-9687-4498-b12b-3fcb470bfe04",
"event": "/restapi/v1.0/account/230919004/extension/230919004/message-store",
"subscriptionId": "9d38419f-645f-4ee3-a053-8cf1368c21c4",
"body": {
"extensionId": 230919004,
"lastUpdated": "2018-10-07T12:05:00.531+0000",
"changes": [
{
"type": "Fax",
"updatedCount": 0,
"newCount": 1
}
]
}
}
As a reaction to this request, your server may poll the message store as described above to get the new message (messages) metadata. See also Push Notifications for more notification delivery options and Message Sync for fine-tuned synchronization.
